Default Converting my 88's front axles to CV

I'm thinking of swapping my axles with CV joint axles. I did lots of searching here and elsewhere however I just want to verify what axles will work. Rock Auto shows CV axles for my 88 even though they weren't available from the factory. I'm not sure if this is a mistake or not. This is what they list:
SURTRACK Part # CH8220 CV Axle Shaft One of our most popular parts
Front Left; 4WD; Except Selec-Trac

Will this work? The Jeep is hwy driven and 4wd is only used in snowy conditions.
Thanks
Todd

Why do you want cv axles? Normally people who have cv axles(grand Cherokees) always swap to a proper u-joint axle

I saw those. Might be a bit of overkill for what I'll be using my Jeep for. Ok, I'd love to have them but the pocketbook won't allow them!
